Books like The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi
Set in 1900 BC on the ancient land of Meluha, the story follows the Suryavanshi rulers whose prosperous empire struggles as the Saraswati river begins to dry. The kingdom faces relentless assaults from the Chandravanshi of the east, who have joined forces with the formidable Naga, a marginalized people with astounding martial prowess. In the face of these threats, an ancient legend speaks of a hero who will rise when evil seems unassailable. The narrative centers on Shiva, a rugged Tibetan immigrant, who may be that destined savior—yet he grapples with the weight of duty, love, and his own desire to lead the Suryavanshi to victory.
